Uglymoney, it can be broken down this simply. In all my life BSUVS before sport utility vehicle stupidity I had *never* heard of a person dying because they blew a tire and lost control. It simply didn't happen. Now it happens all the time, but only to SUV drivers. If these silly things get into *any* kind of trouble, they'll roll over. And they're so cheaply constructed that they flatten like the pancake on the rabbit's head. Gee, a roll bar or cage would go a long way to help, do *any* of them have anything like that? No.... I don't know if you would count a Landrover Freelander as an SUV, but I was pushed of the road at 70mph by a german artic (merkan translation, semi, I think) I was in the outside lane and he didn't see me. The car rolled once and ended up in a ditch pointing back the way I had come. I walked away with a scratched ankle and ear ( which I think I got climbing out through a broken window) needless to say the car was a writeoff, but I figured that it saved my life, so I bought another one. -- Chris *:-) Downhill Good, Uphill BAD! www.suffolkvikings.org.uk |
